Well I'm hoping you're just dealing with a light graphite line on it. You can safely remove that by using an alcohol swab. Wipe with an even pressure of no more than a pound or so of force. Most LCD's are very resilient to even amounts of pressure.

A soft eraser might also work (not the hard pink ones, but a soft kneaded eraser). Hopefully it's not scratched but if it is lightly scratched you can use a damp tissue and a small amount of toothpaste to buff out scratches (not the gritty kind, the smooth paste kind).

Whew! Several light scribbles, approx. 2x3 inches & 7 or 8 pencil lines. I took the alcohol on a swab and *very* lightly rubbed off a little at a time while swiping as I went w/ other hand with a clean dry tissue. If this happens again I will grab my eyeglass cleaning microfiber cloth instead of a tissue... no nore pencil marks and all pixels are a-ok!

Wow...why on earth did they mark on the LCD? Not just once as if they might have been showing someone something and not thinking, but 7 or 8 times? I'd take away the LCD and give them a CRT instead! If you don't take care of nice things, you don't get nice things! lol

Yes, well, hard to be the furniture and equipment police working in a very busy public library... you'd be surprised at some of the things that happen when people are allowed to themselves and they either think nobody is looking, no one will notice, or they flat don't care. We do like to give people the benefit of the doubt and chalk most things up to accidents or thoughtless mistakes.

Sure makes life interesting some days! Thanks for all the posts, I sure learned a lot today and the response time was phenomenal! Way to go :D
